United i.abor-New York, sept. ~, 1885.
The Delegates of the Trade and Labor
Organizations of New York in conference
assembled make this declarations:
l. Holding that the corruptions of
government and the impoverishment of
labor result from neglect Of the self-evi-
dent truths proclaimed by the founders of
this Republic that all men are created
equal and are endowed by their Creator
with unalienable rights. we aim at the
abolition Of the system which com pels
men TO pay their fellow creatures for the
use of Gods gifts to all, and permits mo-
nopolizers to deprive labor of natural op-
portunities for employment, thus filling
the land with tramps and paupers and
bringing about an unnatural competi-
tion which tends to reduce wages to star
walton rates and to make the wealth pro-
'ducer the industrial slave Of those who
grow rich by his toll.

'sages arising from social growth and i'm

Union Labor--Cincinnati, Feb. "a, 1887.
By request of large number of per-
sons we publish the platform of the Union
Labor Party at Cincinnati:
Preamble-The delegates Of the various
industrial and reform political organiza-
tions have assembled from thirty-one
states and territories on this anniversary
Of the birth Of the "fsther of his country"
to view the situation of public affairs and
advise proper action. A general discon-
tent prevails on the part of the wealth
producers. Farmers are suffering from
a poverty which has forced most of them
to mortgage their estates, and prices of
produce are so low as to offer no relief
except through bankruptcy. Laborers
are sinking into greater and greater de-
pendence. Strikes are resorted to with
ont relief, because of the inability of en-
ployers in many cases to pay living wages,
while more and more are driven into the
streets. Business men find collections al
most impossible, meantime hundreds of
millions Of idle public money which is
needed for relief is locked up in the
United States treasury in grim mockery
Of the distress; land monopoly fourishes
as never known before, and more and
more owners of the soil are daily becom-
ing tenants. Great transportation corpo-
rations still succeed in extorting their
profits upon watered stock through unjust
charges. The United States senate has
become an open scandal, its seats being
purchased by the rich in open defiance of
the popular will. trifiing fisheries dis
pute is seized upon as an excuse for nee
essary military preparations which are
designed to breed a spirit Of war, to ape
European despotism, and to empty the
treasury without paying the public debt.
Under these and other alarming condi-
tions We appeal TO the people of the
whole country to come out of the old
party organizations, where indifference
to the public welfare is responsible for
this distress, and help US to organize
new political party, not sectional but ma
tional, Swhose members shall be called
commoners, whose object shall be to re-
peal all class laws in favor of the rich, and
to relieve the distress of our industries
by establishing the following principles:
l. Land-Every human being possesses
a natural, inalienable right to sufficient
land for self support, and we desire to Sc
cure to ever industrious citizen a home as
the highest result Of free institutions. To
this end we desire graduated land tax
on all land estates, especially those held
for speculative or tenant purpose; the re-
claimation of all unearned land grants;
the immediate opening of Oklahoma to
homestead settlement; the purchase of
all unoccupied Indian lands, and the set
tlement Of the various tribes in severalty;
also laws preventing corporations from
acquiring real estate beyond the requir-
ments of their business, and alien owner
ship of land. The system of irrigation,
in states and territories where necessary,
shall be under such public control as shall

Catholic Church ON Temperance.
SPECIAL ADVICE 10 LIQUOR DEALRRs-TExT OF THE
DECREE BY THE LATE COUNCIL OF BALTIMORE.
Translated by the Rev. James Mesgher Of Cazenovia
Following In the footsteps OF the fathers OF the
former councils OF Baltimore, and adhering to the
writings Of the angelic doctor, ST. Thomas AQuinas
we approve, and especially We commend that
pra1seworthy custom OF many, who In our lifetime
entirely abstain from the use OF intoxicating drink
that they may better avoid the vice
by keeping away from the occasions or It. and thus
giving others beautiful example OF the virtue OF
temperance. Their zeal is according 10 wisdom,
they reap great fruit, and We confess the hope OF
greater for them in the future. We recognize as
worthy OF great praise these societies called "The
Catholic Union for Promoting Total Abstinence [,
and the "Holy Thirst" for they are ruled by a
true Catholic spirit, and they seek the necessary
aid, not In the strength OF their own will So much
as in prayer and In tue sacraments. Besides, let
IL be noted, that the head or the whole Church
the yiceroy OF Christ. often ENRICHED them with
them the signs OF our good Will, and that they
may spread and flourish, we recommend them 70
the fatherly care OF our priests that they may not

We also admonish our faithful who are engaged
in the liquor business, that they seriously think
with what and how great dangers and occasions
not in itself forbidden, II they can, let them
choose more honest means Of making a living
But II they cannot. let them study with all their
strength TO remove from themselves and from
others the occasions Of Sin. They must never sell
TO children, 10 those who are not their own mas
tiers, nor to those whom they forSee are going TO

swearing, or tmmodest talking within the walls OF
their saloons. But II through their culpabe fault
or cooperation religion Is brought into disrespect
